I don't want to introduce any more funny syntax for XML. But perhaps for
SGML 97 WG8 could make the distinction between element context and mixed
context syntactically clear. Then a DTD-less parser and a human reader can
see where whitespace will be normalized and where it will not be.
<HTML {
<HEAD {
<TITLE "This is title text">
}HEAD>
<BODY{
<P
"This is the document's content"
>
<IMG HREF="...">
}BODY>
<!-- Lots of meaningless whitespace that will be removed -->
}HTML>
